This is my gt gt grandma, Ann Matthews (nee Leighton). She was born in Bagillt, Flintshire in 1845. She married Thomas Matthews in 1862, before moving to Lower Ince. She was one of those responsible for setting up Westwood Independent Methodist Chapel. She died in 1924 at her home on Warrington Road.

Hi Sheila, we are indeed related. Your great grandad Sam Matthews was the elder brother of my great grandad Matthew Matthews. Drop me an email if you would like to exchange information. Hope you like the photo of Ann, our great great grandma.

Hi Sheila, it doesn't seem to have come through. Will you try again? I have tonnes of information about the family, including recordings of my Grandma from 20 plus years ago, in which she talks about her Uncle Sam. Regards, Paul.
